Not the usual theme

Ok, this is not along our usual themes of subjects, and also it's been a while since I posted. It's kinda sorta also why I haven't posted much this whole second half of the year.

As we all know, this year has been, shall I say, financially challenging. I see across the board prices of goods go up ever so slightly, but the last time I looked, I didn't get a hike in pay. Hmmm, not exactly evened out there.

So that being said, I admit to being somewhat down trying to get by check to check week by week. And in the midst of all this, yes I recently had to buy a car as my protege was ill. And now I'm also looking for a part time job after work, hoping actually that I might find a driving spot at Best Buy! I'm actually kinda excited about that! We'll see soon enough, I'll get back to you on that.

On another note, I did get (thru specials and dicounts) Left 4 Dead 2! And CoD: MW2! Those were the 2 must haves this year and fortunately some friends who work at a certain store helped me with deals! Reviews you ask? I'll try later. I will offer this: best games ever!

Speaking of which, Marcos, what's the word on L4D2 Live? Group playable yet for you? Stay with the group if you want to live!

Anyway, Christmas is just about on us and I love this time of year no matter what! Hoping to see you all soon if possible!

Let's play!

iPhone Gaming

Oh yes, I definitely like iPhone gaming!

At first I thought the platform would be too small visually and somewhat inconvenient using only touchscreen. I was wrong. Half wrong.

Though I haven't purchased many games on the iPhone, some games are better than others using the small screen with touch. Other games shine better than a desktop version. Shooters are examples of me having a somewhat uneasy clunky fat finger effect while puzzle games are so far for me great.

Now, I don't usually like puzzle games, but Bejeweled 2 was a favorite of mine on the desktop. After playing it on the iPhone, in my opinion, it is one of the best types of games you can ever play using touch! You are restricted only by how quickly you can swipe or tap if you are on the timed mode, which is much faster using your finger than using a mouse. Near perfection for me on the iPhone.

A clunky shooter has been the original desktop game, Wolfenstein 3D. I found the screen kind of small but watchable, but more to the point, getting used to controlling the movement for some reason seemed awkward. Still, it was nice to see a classic with it's then state of the art graphics, which are pretty much the same.

I find it incredible that this device is more powerful than the pc's of yesteryear, something from the late '80s early '90s.
